This YouTube monologue (by The Art Of Crypto) argues traders must avoid projecting personal wishes onto price action and instead read objective market signals. The speaker contrasts what they "want to see" (e.g., a retracement into an hourly order block followed by a 5-minute CSD for a long) with what the market is actually showing, emphasizing disciplined, signal-driven trading.
Now, the only reason why I'm sounding as hesitant as I am right now is because I'm trying to determine if, like, whatever I'm sharing here is just something that I want to see in the markets versus what the market is actually telling me. And this is a very important lesson for, you know, any and all traders. By the way, there are always things that, you know, you would like to see the market do. For example, I would like to see a retracement into this one hourly order block right here. And then for price to show a 5 minute CSD to the upside. And then we can take a long. But that's what I want to see. What's important to succeed in trading is to actually read what the market is telling you objectively, and trade what the market is showing you, not what you want to see.
